Sorry to everyone who thinks this is an update, but it's not. As of today, I officially announce that this story is BEING REWRITTEN.

Yes, I'm rewriting it, not abandoning it. I love these characters too much for that. As for my LONG absence and the reason why I'm rewriting my story, I have my own reasons for that, and I am sorry, but I can't tell you. It's a personal problem of mine, and though it was hard dealing with it for the past three years, I am happy to say it's all done with now. I now have the peace of mind I had when I first wrote this story, and I hope it will last.

As for why I'm doing this rewrite, well, three years brought a lot of change to me, including my writing style. And when I re-read my old stories in order to get a fresh perspective on them, I found myself cringing so hard at some parts, and moaning in despair at the way I wrote a few of the chapters. And my grammar was just... UGH.

And that is when I decided to rewrite this story, and in the future, I will put up a (hopefully) better version of this story. You can count on that.

A friend asked me if I will scrap the whole story and write a new, completely different plot than the original, and my answer is NO. Yes, I will replace some parts of it with different takes, but no, the premise of this story will remain the same. I will not change the whole story, but some parts have got to go.

With that being said, expect a new, better version of this story in the future. Thank you to all the faithful fans of this story, and I will do my best to live up to your expectations in the future. Without your encouraging words, this story wouldn't have taken off as well as it did.

Thank you again, my beautiful readers.
